Transparency was the word used
But when it comes to the truth
Why would you pick and choose?
Makes me wonder
Did everything reach the table?

I wonder if he told her
That behind her back
He bonded with her friend
She’d smile in her face during the day
Joining in in the games we played
Then find her way into his bed at night
He had to have told her…
Right?

Did he tell her about
The girl who goes to her church
The one that bakes
She had the icing he needed
He had his cake and ate it too
He told her
He just had to

Did he tell her about the sleepover?
Waking up and kissing another in his bed
Did he mention she kept coming back?
Did it slip his mind?
It must have been that…

I wonder
Did he forget to mention
Falling in love?
Did he speak of
Trying to drown his feelings
The vodka instead
Leaving him unable to drive
Did he tell her where he slept?
Tell me it’s not another tidbit kept

Did he talk about the forbidden place?
Where he knew he shouldn’t be?
He couldn’t help but get more
Of the one who helped
Break her heart before
Maybe he couldn’t confirm her fears
So some things he didn’t share

Did he explain things like
When she couldn’t get him at night
Where exactly he was
And what he was doing with who
He should have
If he really wanted
To be true…

I still wonder if he told her
Or was it all hid
I guess he doesn’t have to tell her anymore
Because…
I just did…
Shh…
No secrets
